A genuine perspective for candidates from an employee- I know the job market is tough out there, but please carefully consider the culture of the company you’re interviewing for. Read through the reviews of the corp office. Some trends for you- leadership guided by politics and the “in” group, no leadership development, few opportunities for growth, outdated return to office mandate, inflexible policies, weak benefit offerings. Employees who have quite literally describe the environment as a waking nightmare. With all of this feedback, maybe the company would decide to invest in sentiment surveys, professional leadership development, and 3rd party ethics and compliance investigations. Instead, they eliminated the HR team and gave more power to the managers who are causing the company to crumble. Zero oversight and a toxic workplace.
I only write this review to help some naive job seekers who see a bunch of openings at a historically stable retailers. I wish someone was courageous enough to share this feedback when I was interviewing so I could see the company values for what they are- printed words on a piece of paper. The values are not imbedded in decision making, certainly not in the treatment of people, and absolutely not in support of lives outside of work.
Please speak to current employees about their honest experiences (outside of people trying to recruit you). I feel bad for the recruiters who have to put on a show about how great of a company it is. With so many talented employees leaving, they have a lot of jobs to fill.
